A sake to be drunk in summer. As you can see, it tastes great when it's crispy and tepid. The alcohol content is 14%, and I drank it in no time at all.
I went to Oze for the first time the other day and found this sake at a liquor store on the way back. The illustration of a skunk cabbage is very nice.
The pop-up sign at the store said it was grapefruit-like, but I didn't feel that much grapefruitiness, but it had a clean flavor and a slight bitterness (is that the grapefruitiness?). It was a gentle 13% alcohol drink.
It was a gentle 13% alcohol drink.
This is the best hit of the last few months. I guess what I like these days is the umami-sour type. I like the balance of umami and acidity.
I enjoyed it cold, but it might be good warmed up.
Sake bought at Nagasaki Airport.
It is a summer sake from Rokujyuoshu, which I had enjoyed the day before at a tavern in Nagasaki City.
It has a melon-like taste in the mouth. It is good cold sake.
The sake was finally made at the brewery after the earthquake.
While I think that some areas of Noto must still be in trouble, I can't help but cheer when I see scenery like this that is returning to normal. I hope I am supporting them even a little by drinking this sake.
It is a junmai ginjo, so it has a gentle sweetness. It tastes like melon. It was delicious.
The pioneer of the recently trendy sour type? s Mai Bijin. The acidity here is perverse.
It is a nigori (cloudy), fizzy and delicious sake.
I personally prefer the more settled acidity after a little while, rather than the freshly-opened acidity. Delicious.
It has a strong umami taste, but the mouthfeel is crisp and clean. It has a strong sense of rice. It was wrapped in Japanese paper when it was displayed.
Cute label. It is said to resemble Lake Biwa.
The store's pop-up sign said it was "like cotton candy," and it was. It was a junmai ginjo with a strong sweet rice flavor.
Abeno VEGA.
The lid surprised me with a crown. I opened it a little at a time and kept the spills down.
It's a crown, so you have to drink it all, but this was one that ran out quickly. It was a gassy, cloudy, fresh and fruity.
It was delicious.
Sake purchased at Niigata Sake-no-jin.
It's so refreshing and tasty. It's so cute! The label is cute.
Soupy sake is very popular these days. I like it.
Wow, I really like it.
It is a sweet and sour type of sake. As it says on the label that it was made with the aim of creating a sake full of lactic acid bacteria, the acidity, umami, and mildness make it a Yakult for adults. I would be happy if it becomes available for regular purchase.
Purchased at ESHIKOTO in Fukui.
It was an unknown Kuroryu and a good price. I thought it would be very fruity because of the good price (I didn't check the specs when I bought it), but it was 40% polished. It has a gentle aroma and a clean mouthfeel. However, it was a nice sake with umami flavor. I thought it might change its atmosphere after some time, so I might leave it for a while. The daffodil on the label is very beautiful.
I bought Sentori for drinking at home for the first time in a while because the label was renewed recently. It is still very good. Lightly sparkling, slightly cloudy, fruity. Fruity. Even those who are not good at sake should be able to enjoy it.
I have been buying umami sake a lot lately, but I can drink Sentori easily. I tried it as an after-bath drink instead of beer, and it's good.
An empty bottle that I drank. It was pure white nigori sake. I was worried about how much it would blow out when I saw the words "Dangerous raw sake," but I was able to open it slowly without any spillage.
It was a refreshing and light sake, but at 21% alcohol by volume, it was thick and full of umami. I wondered if I should have heated it up, but I drank it.
A strange sake, which I wondered what it was when I drank it for the first time about 4 years ago. I wonder if there are other sake made by letting sake lees sit for a while and then re-squeezing it, other than Mai-bijin.
The atmosphere is like Shaoxing sake, but it is still sake. I like it. It can be served with strong snacks or as a dessert. It is delicious.
I drank it all before I could take a picture.
I bought this sake last fall and kept it in the refrigerator. It is gentle. It also has a delicious flavor.
I have a strong image of Ippongi as a sake that can be found in supermarkets, but I am sure it is also delicious.
